A polarized fast radio burst at low Galactic latitude
E. Petroff, S. Burke-Spolaor, E. F. Keane +35
We report on the discovery of a new fast radio burst, FRB 150215, with the Parkes radio telescope on 2015 February 15. The burst was detected in real time with a dispersion measure…
PTF 13efv - An outburst 500 days prior to the SNHunt 275 explosion and its radiative efficiency
E. O. Ofek, S. B. Cenko, N. J. Shaviv +15
The progenitors of some supernovae (SNe) exhibit outbursts with super-Eddington luminosities prior to their final explosions. This behavior is common among Type IIn SNe, but the dr…
Spectrum formation in Superluminous Supernovae (Type I)
P. A. Mazzali, M. Sullivan, E. Pian +2
The near-maximum spectra of most superluminous supernovae that are not dominated by interaction with a H-rich CSM (SLSN-I) are characterised by a blue spectral peak and a series of…
LSQ13fn: A type II-Plateau supernova with a possibly low metallicity progenitor that breaks the standardised candle relation
J. Polshaw, R. Kotak, L. Dessart +20
We present optical imaging and spectroscopy of supernova (SN) LSQ13fn, a type II supernova with several hitherto-unseen properties. Although it initially showed strong symmetric sp…
Diversity in extinction laws of Type Ia supernovae measured between and
R. Amanullah, J. Johansson, A. Goobar +36
We present ultraviolet (UV) observations of six nearby Type~Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, three of which were also observed in the near-IR (NIR)…
DES13S2cmm: The First Superluminous Supernova from the Dark Energy Survey
A. Papadopoulos, C. B. D'Andrea, M. Sullivan +66
We present DES13S2cmm, the first spectroscopically-confirmed superluminous supernova (SLSN) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We briefly discuss the data and search algorithm used…
